As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

Yeah, also this makes me really happy that we're on the fediverse. Turns out some part of the system is run by a strange control freak? Swiftly replace the part and everyone moves along.

only works for the ones lucky enough to catch it -- a tiny minority is likely considering that piefed was caught doing something similar and it's still on track to be one of the largest instances on the fediverse nonetheless.

Well said.
